November 17, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Many of us spend more time working than any other waking activity. With millions of women experiencing domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking each year, the workplace presents a critical juncture for responding to gender-based violence and building systems that help protect and support victims/survivors of violence and exploitation. If we don’t confront these issues in the context of work, we are missing a significant opportunity to disrupt the violence experienced by individuals, and provide women with the resources necessary to move from victim to survivor. Learn more about how to collaboratively address the impacts of violence in the workplace and engage other community partners, including employers, other service providers, and workers’ rights organizations. Futures Without Violence has piloted this collaborative model and, along with project partners, will share valuable lessons learned and advice on how to implement a similar program in your own communities. Closed captioning will be provided.
